Do you know for certain he is being paid?

I'd imagine he is, I wouldn't go to work each day for nothing. Would you?

You're hating on a guy for going to work each day and for getting paid, but are you even confident he does either?

Just out of curiosity has anyone managed to get new friends/family to sign up this year, and how have you gone in previous years?

Last year I got 4 extra family members to sign up as members. This year I've only managed to get 1 friend to sign up who hadn't already.

Anyone had any luck in recruiting? Anyone actually attempted to recruit people?

[Jeterpool]

My folks were trying but hadvsome trouble. Told them to call the membership team because it's easier

I got my Cousin and his 2 sons to join up.
Edit: I'm still optimistic we'll get 10,000, a couple good results in the next 3 weeks would definitely help the cause.

[GazFish35]

I'd managed to get a few to agree come semi-regularly....... Then the members only active area came along and they're not keen on standing on the hill by themselves.

So after the first attempted non event for members being able to pop along to Kotara and collect there gear with those imaginary redemption vouchers we are still waiting for the alternative dates TBA.

If memory serves me correctly we were advised late Oct early Nov, 29th Oct today.

Situation normal at the jets i see. Oh well i guess you get what you pay for, Shit on field and shit off it.

[weston]

I was going to sign up, though I'd only sign up if one of my dogs did. When I asked them, one ran and hid, one bit me and the other took a dump and walked away.

I never signed up.

JETS chief executive Robbie Middleby admits Newcastle fans deserve greater reward for their loyalty after the club’s membership drive passed the 9000 mark on Thursday.

Despite missing the finals last season for the fourth consecutive time, almost 90per cent of last season’s 10,200 members have renewed their season tickets.

Middleby said Newcastle were ‘‘very grateful’’ members had stuck behind the club when it would have been easy to become disillusioned and walk away.

‘‘We appreciate their support and don’t take it for granted, and to be honest our performances over the past few seasons haven’t been good enough,’’ Middleby said.

We apologise for not being able to make the finals for the last four years.‘‘It’s a credit to the football community and the town, that they get behind us year after year.

THANKS ROBBIE IT TOOK SOME BALLS TO OFFER THAT UP BUT IT DOESN'T CUT THROUGH THE PAIN OF SUPPORTING THIS CLUB. WE DESERVE BETTER AND THE CLUB SHOULD MAKE SURE WE ACHIEVE THIS GOAL FOR THEIR FANS

‘‘We’d like nothing more than to have a successful season and reward them for their loyalty, because they deserve it.’’

Middleby said Newcastle’s fan base would stand the club in good stead regardless of how long controversial tycoon Nathan Tinkler remained as owner.


Tinkler signalled his intentions to sell the Jets in August and a Newcastle delegation travelled to England in September to negotiate with potential buyers, without any tangible success.




The Newcastle Herald reported last week that if Tinkler’s financial crisis could not be resolved by the end of the year, Football Federation Australia were preparing to assume control of the Jets.

‘‘I think it’s important to have that support of the club and the football team regardless of who the owner is,’’ Middleby said.

‘‘It’s strong. Whoever is looking at the club in the future, to know that the town and the football community are such strong supporters, it’s definitely a positive.’’

Middleby said the reaction of fans to last week’s 4-1 loss in Wellington was understandable but he was confident of an improved performance in Perth on Saturday night.

‘‘We’re all hurting after the game on the weekend but we have to stay focused and positive,’’ he said.

‘‘If you’re not positive at this stage of the season, where do you go from there?’’

A month ago, Middleby had been hopeful of surpassing last season’s membership numbers but with only eight days before Newcastle’s first home game, against glamour team Melbourne Victory, that appears unlikely.

‘‘Getting over 10,000 members is still a big target for the club,’’ Middleby said.

‘‘During the season, I’m confident we can get to 10,000, but leading into the first game it might be difficult.

‘‘But 9000 is not that far off where we were last season, and that’s fantastic in the circumstances.

‘‘Hopefully we can start winning some games and that number will continue to grow


****ing hate that word Hope.

We shouldn't need hope. We should be putting in place things that will

[Thomas477]

Ffs, with Middleby in charge, all we can do is hope that he stumbles onto something that will hopefully work.

[plague]

Righto, in spite of Middlebys best attempts to black ban me from the car crash that is the Jets, IM BACK.
Firstly, **** Middleby for making me lose my seats and refusing to help get me new ones.
second, the club is bigger than any of the bozos currently wearing the shirt (Griff exempt natch) so ill blindly turn up like i have before through such rubbish times.

Now, where the **** is the office these days? If i rock up am I gonna get a pass on the spot or do i need to wait for the dynamic duo of Middleby and Aussie Post to somehow navigate the 1km trek from theirs to mine?

Whats the best course of action so I get my card so i can get to the debacle the weekend?

Don't reckon round here's the place to find an answer!

You poor sod. Are you prepared for what you are getting yourself into and considered fully the consequences of your actions??


PS FFS Get Off Middleby's back.

The running of the club poorly has nothing to do with him and he should never have to shoulder any blame for the situation the club finds itself in. BE beter of blaming the fans instead. They may carry the burden but they don't shoulder any of the blame for our woes
@blamethefans#

[plague]

Welcome aboard the ship'o'fools.

Oh don't worry, I've been swabbing the decks on this rickety old thing for years. I fully know the deal when signing up.
They say cocaine is bad for you too but you know, some things in life can be both.
Now that I'll be roaming the hills this year with the great unwashed I should make an effort to come over and meet some of you.
You might need to form some sort of line though, I can't have you all hugging/punching me at once.

Added another membership

[pv4]

Current count: 9245.

[pv4]

Not sure how many members we usually sign up after the first game of the season but I can't see it being 1755, which is the amount we are short of the clubs official goal.

It'll be interesting to see if we even get the 755 needed to get to 10k. I think we will, probably before the home F3 derby at the end of the month.

I wonder if heads will roll at the club for not reaching the membership goal. Did they really push it enough to achieve it? Obviously on-field results, both over the last 6 years but specifically over the last 4 games, don't help the cause. But I wonder if any or every one at the club is disappointed at not reaching the goal, and what strategies are in place or will be to resolve this for next season.

Don't get me wrong, even taking into consideration how cheap our memberships are, it's still a good effort to reach 9k for a town like Newcastle. But this is just another example of how poorly the club is going (on and off the field) IMO, that we haven't achieved or beaten the membership tally of the last 2-3 years.

Officially back in. see you mongs at the game.

Just bought a membership for the first time. Excuse my ignorance, but what do I need to do now I've paid for it in order to get in to the game against Brisbane this weekend? Print something, go somewhere to pick up a card or something?
On a side note, the 5pm Saturday games are a bitch for those of us who play cricket.

I'd check with the club - they did email something last week about what members needed to do depending on when you paid for the membership - i think at this late stage it'll probably be a "print at home" option until your card is made.

welcome aboard......

+1. Give them a call - they're pretty good in all dealings over the phone I've had with them.

After listening to Taylor Reagan for 15 minutes or so, the bloke said they're printing and posting out a heap of cards this week and said I should have it mailed to me in time for the game this week.

Was Regan manning the phones or was that you on hold?

[GazFish35]

I'm listening to him now.
sexy voice.

you cant hear the Dudley in him at all.

[Macca]

Nah they haven't resigned players to desk jobs yet. He just had a few pre-recorded messages about how loyal the fanbase is and how we are the future of the club etc while waiting to get on to the guy manning the phone. Missed his name the first loop round and I was surprised to hear it was him when I did hear him announce himself.

[pv4]

They haven't updated the membership tally since Friday. I would have thought there would be a fair few signups to have happened late Friday and at the game on Saturday, so I'll be interested to see if we're edging towards the 10k when they actually do update it.

[380]

Anyone got any idea why bay 50 and 51 were down as closed sections yet there were bloody heaps of people sitting there last weekend. When renewing our membership that was our prefered area but settled on another location as it said on the website like the upper eastern as closed ?.

[pv4]

I'm not sure they ever close. Don't they start offering reduced price memberships, basically each game gone makes it cheaper as it's one less game you can watch?

The sad thing is - we need 300 more to get to 10k, but it's more likely we'll lose 300 members asking for refunds before we get more :rof:

10, 000 members reached (exactly. Looks suss to me :))

[pv4]

The membership counter hasn't moved since it went to 10000. I assume that figure isn't 100% accurate, but anyway. And I don't expect, even if we get more numbers, that we'll get any more updates.

What do people forsee for next year, numbers-wise? We have fallen short 1000 people of our goal for this season.

Who already has plans to renew, not renew, have people interested, etc for next season - and what reasoning for your decision?

[Grimario]

Next year, depending on whether or not Mrs Grim gets a job, I will get a non attending membership to go with my Reds Active membership.

#ForzaUnited
#InGombauWeTrustUnderStubbinsWeRust


Seriously though, I would still like to get a non attending membership even if we are turd. Will always be my team even if 7th is just a dream this season.

[The Dunster]

I won't be renewing until the club get the management and ownership debacle sorted out.
Considering wages are falling for most cohorts, unemployment is rising and the team is not performing as well as people want - then - ticket prices will need to be further discounted for memberships to be anywhere near 10,000 next season.

Captain Obvious ?

[Premy]

I'll renew next year and the year after that and the year after that.

[pv4]

I'll renew next year and the year after that and the year after that.

And the sad bit is, that the club know this..
There is a core group of people (or masochists, i think, and I'm one of em) who no matter what, will continue to renew and support the team in this town..

[BodyNovo]

i have been a member since season 2 and next season is the first season where i will not be renewing if the current ownership are in control.

[Jeterpool]

There is likely to be a drop even if a new owner comes in. And this is a hypothetical....

New owner arrives, jacks the prices up for the season tickets. Who will renew is it's an extra $100 for a season ticket? That's only $8 or there abouts for a game but people don't realise the breakdown.

I'll renew, but mrs JP I'm not so sure

[plague]

I'm out.
Our group (from S.2) of 12 is down to 8 this year and no one is coming back.

I am looking at this is a test of my faith. I will not quit on this club regardless of what these clowns running it and the weak attitudes of the players and their weak efforts bring us. They may have quit on us but remember this we will always be here they will not.

Never Surrender and don't let these ****s dragging our club down win

I will be paying my money regardless of whether these clowns are still there because supporting this club is a life time commitment from me that will never end

[GazFish35]

Will probably depend on prices.
If a match day ticket is $27 +1.95% credit card fee + $4.35 handling fee.... Say $32.

I'll be suckered into going to at least four games.... So $128
If a season ticket is less than that, I'll get one, only so I'm giving them less money.


maybe I'll just go to away games.

[Jetmaster]

Sad that people who push "Never Surrender" and "Never Tear Us Apart" think about jumping.

Worldwide the great thing about our game is supporting through thick and thin. But with Gen Y and Z in particular these days there is that desire for instant success - plenty of Man Utd and Barcelona fans around, not as many Leeds, Ipswich or Blackburn fans as there once was, except for original fans.

As someone who was an original KB United member in 1977, we went through hell over the next 30 years, including the loss of four clubs - the GF in 2008 was one of the great days in my life when it finally happened.

I will always be a member, no matter what and I will feel like I've done my bit when the good times return.

Yes, I come home these days like Golden Gordon from Ripping Yarns - "they're bloody useless" and kick the cat.

But I go there next week, every week because I support my local team, not the coach, or the CEO or the owner....

[Rocknerd]

Didn't renew this year won't renew next year. How am I supposedly to teach my daughters about sportsmanship or graciousness in defeat with this rabble. I am sick because I continue to follow the Jets no matter what, but I'll not go out of my way to watch them live when I have a Fox subscription where I can watch them without feeling like shit on the 3 hour drive home.
When I see improvement on and off the field I'll consider membership again, until then they can FOAD

Generalize at your own peril JM, i havent surrended. Surely you can blame the sydney crewe for not giving up 7 hrs for the current situation.

Could be worse, some of the so called active ex KB & breakers colleges went to Gypos.

Mangement will die but Newcastle Football wont.

Cool story guys

I was talking to pv4 and SB about it yesterday.. There is an episode of Ripping Yarns called Golden Gordon.. (I'm sure some of the older blokes will know of it)
I've been searching everywhere online to find it so I can share it on here, as it is absolutely brilliant and quite pertinent to whats going on for us fans..
(If anyone can find it, my old-boy has it on dvd, but its gonna take me a lot of effort to get it, copy it, upload it, etc etc)

I could only find this short part of Gordon coming home after his team have been thrashed yet again.. This is how I used to be after a Jets loss, absolutely pissed off and ropeable.. Nowadays, it is just expected, its comical, its beyond a joke..

Premy, I don't think I've ever met you, but you're not giving a good account of yourself.

Nowhere in my post did I reference the team losing or their performance as a reason for "jumping ship" as you so eloquently put it.

It's purely and simply to do with the ownership. While Tinkler owns and runs the club into the ground, he won't get any more of my money.

I couldn't care if we lost every game, but I personally refuse to financially support the shambles that currently "runs" the club I love.

i'm more of a fan by paying my money and not bothering to go imo

I don't know you either but in a public forum like this everyone's statements are open to critic, much the same as you did mine.

That's you're opinion good on you for sticking by it. You fill in the blank

You'll notice I done it to not just your post. The reason I done it was to hit a nerve, job done. You took the implication of "jumping ship", here's another cliche for, where there's smoke there's fire.

Tell me but what change regarding Tinkler from the start of the season for you to not renew next year? What is going on at the moment regarding ownership is nothing new but you now decide it's time for you to leave. To me that suggest recent events (on field results) is behind your desire to not renew, feel free to correct me.

Cool story guys

ive been to every game this season wello and perth in consecutive weeks and I don't think I've seen Michael Jordan pull back on the singlet for Chicago

That's why I won't be renewing

Bring back MJ

Anyone can "hit a nerve" when they literally put words in people's mouths/keyboards.

Tinkler was bankrolling the Jets at the start. He obviously isn't now, albeit his name is still on the deed.

That's my only issue. No matter who owns the club, it should be done with 100% commitment.

Why should I continue to give over my hard earned when it isn't going towards the club, or at least that's what it looks like to a layman.

It's a choice, and it doesn't make any 1 supporter lesser/greater than those that stay/leave.

I won't support any other club, I'll still watch every week via Foxtel and I'll be wishing for 3 points at every turn, as I do now attending matches.

EDIT: I've already paid for the membership this season, so I'll be there until at least the end of the season. If owners change, so will my future-decision.

Tinker situation was the same now as it was a the start of the season, you're deluded if you think it wasn't.
Our membership money goes towards the club, the club doesn't make any profit for Tinkler to siphon, Tinkler had cut his expenditure not pinching our money. The clubs needs us and our money more than ever and you're turning your back.

I'll repeat see you later, keep in touch I'll let you know when the wagon comes back around.

I agree completely. We aren't lining tinkers pockets. At best we are minimising his outlay.

End of the day, if the clubs not sold by the start of next season and all the fans bail, the club just looks less attractive to any potential purchaser. All we have done then is add to Tinklers damage and further contributed to the clubs demise.

I'll keep signing on to support the team. Thats not a sign that I support the owner or condone the performance of the club as a whole. I'll stick it out.

Precisely right. the only money Tinks may have siphoned off is transfer fees from Taggz and Beard the money which could have been invested back into the club. What money he has taken from these deals isn't even covering his outlay over the last few years into the club.

Feel free to blame the FFA. They gave us Tinks despite him not having interest in the game and have thus created this situation we find ourselves in and are currently doing very little to rectify take ownership of the mess and sorting it out.

The HAL is not all about the big city clubs and the FFA's reluctance to deal with the Gypos and Jets and the ownership issues a regional side face shows how out of touch they are. The cost of running a HAL is ridiculously high and the fact we can not get a community ownership model off the ground to sustain a club shows what a farce we have on our hands when the FFA are running the comp at financial levels that are unsustainable without a millionaires backing

I am of the general view that giving people shit for not involving themselves in something you want them to be involved in isn't always the greatest way of keeping them included. Even if you don't agree with some people sentiments for not renewing, I think as supporters we should probably understand and respect their reasons. At least then we can pretend the supporters are a united bunch (and not a bunch of people with a just a few cliques thrown in).

And so you have some ammunition to have a go at me...Im not a member this year (have been in the past) and not sure if I will be next year. My reasons are related to family responsibilities, but if that is seen as being a plastic supporter or code for 'bad results' then so be it.

I just spent all day on the course at Cypress Links enjoying my life.
If anyone thinks that I should take away time from doing this to spend more time supporting/financing/caring for the shitcunce at our club then I make no apologies.
Give me a call when the blokes wearing the logo give anywhere near as much of a ****.

You make a noble point about giving people shit for not wanting to get involved and your probably right about that. Regardless that's how I feel about them and I can still live with myself and my morals.

I also agree that there are reason for not renewing or being a member, however none of those reason I feel we're mentioned before you're post. I stand by my comments of people being spinless for turning there back on the club when the club needs them most, if said people want to be upset by those comments, good they should be the spineless twats.

Whilst I'm at it I'll drop another cliche.
If you can't stand someone at their worst then you don't deserve them at their best.

I don't think any of the management, coaching staff, or indeed the players understand what the club means to the supporters. Unfortunately, as long as 10,000 or so buy memberships they have no reason to want to know.

This is why I didn't pay for a membership. It has nothing to do with walking out on the club when they are down or only supporting the team during the good times.

It's simply my way of telling management that I do not support what they are doing to the club.

We could lose every week and I'd buy a membership tomorrow if the club had some direction. However, currently the club is spinning in circles with the same idiots at the wheel.

Whilst I understand the protest aspect of it I still believe that you are doing more harm than good to the club.

Sure it's an effective way to protest but there are other ways of doing so and I'll reiterate I believe by not renewing you are doing more harm than good.

[joel31]

If everyone followed your lead and stopped turning up the club would be folded not just the management sacked and I know you don't want that

[hawk]

We are going to have to admit that people have different ways of protesting against a football management regime.

Some take banners, verbalise to players & staff, boo the team off, stay away, not get memberships, comment online at various websites etc.

As long as we all do something and let those that can make the changes know about it the impact of the message will get through.

Don't worry I'm still stupid enough to go to all the home games. I'm even going to be there for the blood bath against Adelaide.
